Brown Bag Lunch Series: Fighting fire with fire: using a mild virus to prevent lethal virus infection in the respiratory tract
Session led by Tanya Miura Our initial project on the CMCI COBRE award was designed to identify parameters that determine disease outcomes during respiratory viral coinfection in a mouse model. Through this work we identified multiple virus pairs that resulted in reduced disease severity upon coinfection, which depends upon the viral doses and order of…
BBL / BYOC Series: July 16th – *urgent* Farewell Gathering for Racquel & Deciding IDAC’s Future
Come say farewell to Racquel and celebrate her amazing commitment to the modeling core before she departs later this month! Also, we have an urgent emergency gathering of IDAC, same place same time. We strongly advise those associated (and are available) to attend! This session will be led by Holly. All are welcome!
Brown Bag Lunch Series: LLM Reasoning in Healthcare: Faithful Explanations or Plausible Rationalizations?
Achieving trustworthy AI in healthcare remains a significant challenge, as existing eXplanation Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods like attention maps or LIME/SHAP are often dismissed by clinicians and patients as uninterpretable. While the reasoning LLMs initially seemed promising for generating natural-language explanations, they often create unfaithful rationalizations that obscure a model’s true logic. To solve this,…
Brown Bag Lunch Series: Family Feud: Intraspecific Antagonism in Microbial Community Assembly
In this presentation, Lon Chubiz will explore the consequences of antagonistic interactions between microbes during assembly of microbial communities. Many experimental and theoretical studies on microbial communities focus on how interactions between microbes from diverse species shape their assembly. Often overlooked are interactions between members of the same species. These interactions are frequently highly competitive…
Growing Team Research
All IMCI and IBEST participants, including faculty, postdocs, students and staff, are invited to participate in an extraordinary brainstorming session on January 30 and again on February 6 in the Clearwater room at the ISUB. The idea is that rather than assemble research teams in response to specific funding opportunities, researchers grow teams with common…
Celebrating the “Collaboratorium” (IRIC 352)
Coffee, community, grassrooting. These are some of the things that brings IMCI together. At the heart of IMCI is the “Collaboratorium”. Faculty, students, and postdocs working in both modeling and empirical areas meet with postdoctoral scientists who devote full-time efforts to collaborative modeling. Our goal is to bring together the brightest minds across disciplines to…
